Ahm… I don’t think so. Could it?
What’s it? Apparently, this NYT article on Blinkx suggests that:
“…Today, owing to the proliferation of large video files, video accounts for more than 60 percent of the traffic on the Internet, according to CacheLogic, a company in Cambridge, England, that sells “media delivery systems” to Internet service providers. “I imagine that within two years it will be 98 percent,” says Hui Zhang, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.”
That’s pretty astonishing. Of course, one video file is much larger than one text file, but still, 98%?
I wrote something earlier (link below) on how Podzinger and Powerset can merge to take on Google, I guess that means Google will buy Blinkx?
Anyway, check out some of our previous posts on video search:
